Introductory 

Notes

Insert bolded text below in DLMS note 2:

Users operating under the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) 

must reference the Unit of Issue and Purchase Unit Conversion Table, 

Transportation Mode of Shipment Conversion Table, and the Accounting 

Classification Appendix which can be found on the Defense Logistics 

Management Standards Office (DLMSO) website at http://www.dla.mil/j6/dlmso/Changes.

2 DLMS 

Introductory 

Notes

Add DLMS note 3e:

e. Repetition of data (using multiple iterations or loops) which is not 

compatible with existing DLSS capability. Although supported by the use of 

the ANSI X12 standard, such data is not compatible with DLSS/DLMS 

conversion and may not be supported by the recipient's automated 

processing system. Components must coordinate implementation of 

enhanced capability with DLMSO prior to use.

Add new 

clarification 

restricting use of 

ANSI functionality 

for data repetition.

4 2/LQ01/080

Revise DLMS notes for qualifier “A9” to read: 

 

1. Use to identify supplemental address/data.

2. During the DLSS/DLMS transition, this field will be used to 

perpetuate/populate the DLSS Supplemented Address (SUPAAD) field. 

During this time, field size is restricted to 6 positions; see introductory 

DLMS note 3d.

3. Expanded use of this field for supplemental data without size restriction 

is a DLMS enhancement; see introductory DLMS note 3a.

4. Under full DLMS, the requirement to pass activity address information 

within the supplement data field will be streamlined. Activity address

data previously contained in the SUPAAD will be reflected exclusively in 

the N1 segment. Future streamlined data; see introductory DLMS note 3c.

Update. To stay
